Without making any judgement about the relative quality of the drivers
in their role as IDE drivers, the fact that ACPI hotplug works with
libata and doesn't work with drivers/ide means that, rationally,
distributions need to use the libata stack for the more common parts.
There simply isn't the same level of integration between drivers/ide and
the rest of the OS.
